I’m interrested in finding out about large birds that migrate at high altitude off of Point Loma in San Diego and in the San Diego Bay area. Most of the Bird Migration discussions on the Web are about birds at low altitude. Can you direct me to reports / web sites that provide estimates of bird migration pathways of large (greater than 2 lbs) in the areas I have mentioned that also contain altitude siteings / measured values. I’m particularly interested in birds that migrate at altitudes above 2000 feet.
